Re: australia vs usa
Going by the RL World Cups (Ireland & the Lebanon) - the USA is probably a bunch of Aussie Expats anyway.
Pro's of Australia George Bush is currently on the letter I for Iraq in his invasion plans. He still has most of the alphabet to go through before he reaches A again. Apparently he's looking for places beginning with J now.....Jersey is not looking too good for a holiday at the moment. Con's Not sure is Dubya knows the alphabet properly. Paul. |
Re: australia vs usa
I lived in Los Angeles, California for 2 years few years back. I had chance of taking a green card, but chose to return to London. I got residency to Aus April. The american dream still exisits and if you are interested in making money and working in certain unique industries at the cutting edge, US is your place. I found Americans generally OK as individuals, but as a group they tend to be similar thinking. I feel Australia is not so intense and more laid back. US is a nightmare today for visa etc. I think Sydney has a simlar feel to LA, bit not so intense experience with nicer people.

Jeremy Indeed, the mere existence of the states, with their own governors, legislatures, premiers, civil services etc, is an obvious Australian difference from the UK, and it is not always at all transparent whether a particular issue is a state or federal one. In fact, as an aside, it will be interesting to see, if an Australian republic is accepted at referendum in the future, what happens in the states - the removal of the Queen as head of state of Australia would not, in theory, have any effect on the arrangements in any of the states. (This question was half-heartedly raised before the referendum in 1999, but the issue was pushed to one side and largely ignored as being not important - indeed, like the whole republic question itself it is not important in terms of people's day-to-day lives, but there could be a constitutional mess even so.) |

Re: australia vs usa
Difficult one this.
One country's full of highly self-opinionated wannabes who are more than happy to pass judgement on everyone else when they should be taking a good hard look at themselves, and the others are Yanks. I just don't know......... :confused: |
